We arrived in Hawaii yesterday after a six hour flight with Delta. We have gone back another three hours, so we’re all pretty tired. The beach here at The Royal Hawaiian is amazing, we all went swimming in the sea, then to the pool. We had a look on Waikiki Beach walk, got some poke… Continue reading Aloha Waikiki

Peal Harbour
We took a shuttle bus to Pearl Harbour this morning to see the famous USS Arizona Memorial site and museum. I have not seen the film and did not know much about what happened at Pearl Harbour so we opted for the audio tour to learn as much as possible. The tour was narrated by… Continue reading Peal Harbour
Cheesecake Factory

For this reason I got a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage at the spa which was really painful because of my aching muscles but like magic all pain was gone afterwards 🙂 This evening we did a… Continue reading Cheesecake Factory
Hanauma Bay and Lanikai Beach

The bay is a Nature Preserve and a Marine… Continue reading Hanauma Bay and Lanikai Beach

After a very hectic schedule on the cruise ship, we decided it was about time we had a few days off!

Today we went… Continue reading Two Days Off

The ship is pretty big (holds 2,146 passengers) but not quite as big as the one we went on for our honeymoon (NCL Jade). The ship wasn’t due to… Continue reading Pride of America Cruise Ship
Diamond Head Crater
Diamond Head Crater is a volcanic crater that was created around 150,000 years ago. It sits on the edge of Honolulu, right next to Waikiki beach. Since the base was just 10 minutes by bus from our hotel, we decided to take an early morning hike up to the top. We left about 8:45 and… Continue reading Diamond Head Crater
Outrigging on Waikiki Beach
We woke up this morning to another beautiful day in Honolulu, Hawaii. We grabbed some bodyboards and chairs from the hotel reception and headed over to Waikiki Beach. We spent the morning sunbathing, bodyboarding and watching the pro surfers launch past us! Part of the beach has a wall built across to break the waves… Continue reading Outrigging on Waikiki Beach
Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii

After a quick stop at our hotel to drop off our bags, we headed straight for Waikiki… Continue reading Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii
